Dalida's private life was marred by a series of failed relationships, personal problems and the suicides of several people close to her.

In January 1967, she took part in the [[Sanremo Music Festival 1967|Sanremo Festival]] with her new lover, Italian singer, songwriter, and actor [[Luigi Tenco]]. The song he presented was "{{lang|fr|Ciao amore, ciao|i=no}}" ("Bye Love, Bye"), which he sang together with Dalida, but Tenco failed despite Dalida's performance.
Tenco died by suicide on 27 January 1967, after learning that his song had been eliminated from the final competition. He was found by Dalida in his hotel room with a bullet wound in his left temple and a note announcing that his gesture was against the jury and public's choices during the competition.<ref>{{cite news|author=Chris Campion |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2008/jan/24/unsungheroesno4luigitenco |title=Unsung Heroes No.4 – Luigi Tenco – Music |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |access-date=28 August 2016}}</ref> Prior to Tenco's suicide, Dalida and he had become engaged.<ref>{{cite news|last=de Lamarzelle |first=Désirée | url=http://www.marieclaire.fr/,dalida-vie-amours-depression-suicide,810711.asp |title=Dalida, Artiste Comblée Ou Amoureuse Maudite ? |work=Marie Claire |date=25 January 2016 |access-date=14 March 2016|language=fr}}</ref> One month later, Dalida attempted to take her own life by drug overdose at the {{lang|fr|{{ill|Prince de Galles|fr|Hôtel Prince de Galles|vertical-align=sup}}|i=no}} hotel in Paris.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.parismatch.com/People/Musique/Dalida-l-amour-a-mort-25-ans-apres-sa-mort-le-mythe-toujours-vivant-156780|title = Dalida, l'amour à mort| date=3 May 2012 }}</ref> She spent five days in a coma and several months [[convalesce|convalescing]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Venot |first=Catherine |url=http://www.francedimanche.fr/retro/stars-inoubliables/dalida-elle-failli-mourir-des-la-naissance%E2%80%89/ |title=Dalida : Elle a failli mourir dès la naissance ! |work=France Dimanche |date=1 February 2016 |access-date=14 March 2016 |language=fr |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314222357/http://www.francedimanche.fr/retro/stars-inoubliables/dalida-elle-failli-mourir-des-la-naissance%E2%80%89/ |archive-date=14 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Dalida returned to the stage the following October.<ref>{{cite AV media |last=Le Tellier |first=Philippe |url=http://galerie.parismatch.com/detail.cfm?idpicture=224312218 |title=La Chanteuse Dalida Qui Prépare l'Olympia, 1967 |work=Paris March |date=4 October 1967 |access-date=14 March 2016 |archive-date=14 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314235820/http://galerie.parismatch.com/detail.cfm?idpicture=224312218 |url-status=dead }} {{in lang|fr}}</ref>
